“…With a lobectomy, the remaining lung could develop, thus, the total lung volume and its function will improve to normal levels [ 14 ]. The lobectomy procedure has a low rate of complications, and this intervention is expected to prevent recurrent lung infection and its transformation to malignancy [ 5 ]. From thorax CT-scan imaging, in our patient, the mediastinal structure was shown shifting to the right, causing a very severe respiratory acidosis for the patient due to the air trapping that led to carbon dioxide elevation.…”

Introduction and importance: Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is a rare cystic lesion in the lungs. CCAM might present in the early neonatal period with symptoms of respiratory distress. Case presentation A 2-year-old girl was admitted to our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit with signs of severe respiratory distress. She had been diagnosed with CCAM since she was three months old. She also had undergone several procedures such as thoracotomy and decortication since then, but she still suffered some episodes of pulmonary infection. In this admission, her computerized thoracic tomography revealed a pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB). Clinical discussion An obstruction of blood outflow from the left ventricle could happen when an intrathoracic mass exists, leading to a decrease of cardiac output and resulting in an obstructive shock, which could be fatal. One of the malignancy types commonly occurring is pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB), which has a poor prognosis. Early detection on CCAM can be done by prenatal ultrasound. Conclusion Obstructive shock is one of complication that might occur in pleuropulmonary blastoma.
